I was wondering where he disappeared too. Seems like every bad news story crime story had JM's name as city spokes person. What exactly did this guy do to earn his salary?

Pebbles,
There was no need for me to post links supporting my comments because I used the CNN link you posted to take apart the most common liberal talking point that tries to equivocate organized Christian violence with organized Muslim violence.

It was you that quoted the CNN headline ?300 acts of violence against PP Offices? and you attached a link to a foolish 12/2015 CNN analysis of a 2010 report that analyzed 300 acts of violence against PP Offices from 1973-2003. Then you added the smarmy little IMO about acid attacks. You provided the framework to my response by lazily quoting a CNN headline without even reading the CNN analysis of a 6-year-old report on Violence against PPO offices / staff.

Pinned down by my point below, you used the next favorite moonbat debating tactic, when the facts do not fit your narrative, change the narrative. Ignoring my question below, you expanded the scope of your Christians-do-it-too premise to include other types of anti-social behavior by the Klan, gay bashers etc as Christian sponsored. And what are your sources linking these things to main stream Christians? The irony is that if one accepts your definition of anti-Muslim bigotry, you are guilty of the same religious bigotry against Christians by things you say and attribute to Christians. Don?t you feel any guilt smearing innocent Christians? Why would you say such horrible things?

I understand that you need to drag one religion down in order to promote another so you can win a debating point. There is no national Christian movement promoting violence against Muslims or anyone else. On the other hand, many are bending over backwards to accommodate immigrant Muslims. Wanting to defend your country and your fellow citizens from radical jihadism is not a bigotry and speaking out against allowing these killers into the country is still not a crime, at least not yet.

This is a rather interesting false equivalence that you want to propose. You limit Christian attacks to one type of location and one type of motive, Planned Parenthood and anti-Abortion. You choose to include attacks by Al Qaeda along with ISIS and atrocities performed by thug governments run by people that happen to be Muslim.

What if we opened up all Christian attacks? for instance every Klan murder. You also have the assaulting of gay people for being gay. How about the rampant attacks on Muslims (and non-Muslims that just looked brown enough) after 9/11 occurred? I have neighbors that have been assaulted in the last week for simply being Muslim.

Pebbles...

I am challenging your faulty logic that equalizes organized Muslim violence against your perception of organized Christian attacks on Planned Parenthood offices. Is it possible that the recent Denver PP Office attack could be carried by an agnostic/atheist who finds scavenging for baby parts morally offensive to his personal value system? So far authorities have not linked that killer to any Christian organization.

Then offering the link to 12/01/15 CNN news analysis of a 2010 report about PP Office violence between 1973 and 2003 to support your premise was priceless. Can?t CNN find any Rand Report more current that supports their anti-Christian / pro gun control bias? The CNN news anchors tried to attribute the initial shooting reports in San Bernardino as an attack on a PP Office blocks away from the actual shooting address. They looked pretty sad when they were corrected by the local reporter.

The 2010 report indicated that in the US over a 30 year span, a total of 6 people were murdered with 4 attempted charges. So, how do those numbers compare against Muslim atrocities committed within the USA during the same time period? Let?s start with the (2) obvious attacks on the WTC where thousands died?

And as for the ?barbaric? Christian acid attacks you cited from the report? The report clearly says the damage was against private property ($$ reported) and not people. I suppose it would be bigoted of me to highlight a current trend in ?traditional? Muslim honor killings for men to use acid to disfigure Muslim women and female children. I pose your question back, what is more barbaric disfiguring PP private property or your child?s face because they are embracing our western values?
As to current FBI statistics you mention, I have no faith that they can honestly assess evidence in these jihadi crimes without redefining extremist violence as workplace violence to protect the failed Obama Open Borders Policy that you foolishly embrace. Your denial of Muslim terror and its true threat to American citizens, now from inside the US, is just stunning.

It figures a person like you would defend the Planned Parenthood, yes, killing is wrong. But please tell that to Planned Parenthood, where they make a living selling body parts.

Having been inside of a Planned Parenthood, they make their living on contraceptives. They provide services and testing for STDs. They are the answer for those that need a low cost option when they cannot afford a doctor.

I don?t know what you believe ?a person like me? is. However, your argument about selling ?baby parts? is based on a falsehood. I don?t know what baby parts you believe they are ?making their living? off of, but it?s an outright lie. All that is sold is fetal tissue so that those infinitely more knowledgeable than I at medicine research can develop cures for the diseases that those of us that are fully formed.

I guess to you, that terminated pregnancy shouldn?t just be left as that and there should be no option to benefit the rest of humanity.

I recommend you stop reading fake news sites like Newsmax. It?s the equivalent of the Weekly World News only with slightly fewer stories on Batboy.

Are you arguing that murdering someone for religious zeal is ok as long as it?s less than the number of people murdered by another group due to their religious zeal?

Here is a list of information on anti-abortion violence and since I?m so nice, I?ll sum it up here:
Between 1973, when the Supreme Court decided abortion should be legal throughout the United States, and 2003, abortion providers have been the targets of more than 300 acts of extreme violence, including arson, bombings, murders and butyric acid attacks.

Now, I don?t know about you, but butyric acid attacks seem quite barbaric.

Conveniently leaving out the triple Waltham murder where the victims had their throats slashed to near decapitation (typical Muslim terror technique) and assuming your best premise for their political refugee status, the murderous brothers were radicalized in a Boston mosque whose radical leadership had affiliation to a Houston mosque. That mosque produced a member who went to work and cutoff the head of a 58 year old woman coworker. Of course Obama DOJ described these as "lone wolf" attacks. Workplace violence. The Boston killer family refused to assimilate and they had a vetted paper trail. The perfect foils for radical Muslim clerics to spread their global hate and anti western violence.

However... None of what you said disputed what I wrote.

Shoplifting isn?t a positive trait (neither is welfare, but I won?t pretend to know the circumstances that brought them to it) but let?s not pretend they came to this country with the specific mission to bomb anyone, let alone the Boston Marathon. That?s the simple fact.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev became radicalized the same way Dylann Roof became radicalized. There is just about no difference between the two. The result is where things change because people now argue that every Muslim wants to strap a bomb to them while nobody is claiming that white people are out buying guns in droves to shoot up churches.

During a recent soccer match with Greece, the home team Turkey had hundreds booing during the requested moment of silence for Paris.

Willful ignorance? even if you believe there are just a ?few hundred? radicals engaged or planning in terrorism here in the US, that is a few hundred too many considering the number casualties from the recent Egypt plane bombing and Paris were committed by just a handful.

The question is how big is the safety net that protects these killers? The Boston Marathon Bombing was not enough blood on the street for you to open your eyes to a sad reality? Make no mistake, the US has been very lucky if your ignore 9-11. BTW, speaking out against Muslim inspired terrorism does not make you a bigot. Another false media driven narrative.

Dear Sully,
Your noble, but ultraistic sentiments are built on a false premise that attributes a Judeo-Christian Western rationale to these murderous bastards. They do not care about anything except for their global jihad through violence. They will also spread jihad with mass illegal or legal immigration throughout the west. They have no intention of assimilating into western culture because our values and lifestyle do not conform to their beliefs.
You also fall for the dangerous media driven premise that says there is open hatred and persecution of Muslims in this country. This open society has bent over backwards to accommodate these people despite repeated attacks by their young believers driven by an immoral dogma. 99.99% of Americans are quite restrained while car bombs are driven into Time Square, women are beheaded in the workplace, college students are slashed in classrooms and our constitutional right to free speech is directly assaulted by jihadists at a conference center.
The willful ignorance of the west dangerously plays into their global aspirations for an Islamic world. To hear the media and government terrorist experts admit surprise this morning that they never considered any other tactic other ?lone wolf? attacks is gross negligence. Where did they think these isolated attacks were leading?

Dear JCMan8 -
Your reaction of hatred and fear is exactly what these despicable acts were designed to achieve.

The goal of these terrorists was not so much to kill a few dozen or a couple hundred people, but to activate the biggoted elements in Europe/US to escalate the persecution of Muslims in their communities, making it easier for the bad guys to radicalize and recruit new members.

I am not saying, don?t do anything about it. Of course the perpetrators need to be found and held accountable. There is not much you or I can do directly to help that cause, but here are two things we can do, right now:

We can keep the innocents who lost their lives, and their families, in our thoughts.

We can push back against hatred and persecution of Muslims in our community. If we fail to do so, we are walking into the trap set by the terrorists.

Yours,

The irony here are the US federal agencies offering the French support... as if the French government can't turn these 6 incidents into 6 separate isolated acts of workplace violence committed by lonely misunderstood young men who were simply upset because they could not find work and their social benefits were being shut-off. Perhaps they just needed a safe space to gather and talk about their angst?

You are making my point... this is a private property and this became a news story for discussion because of the larger social issues that you summed up nicely. You talk and teach your children in an age appropriate manner. Who knows what a 5 year old is thinking when they hear some dope screaming and swearing into their cellphone on the street? Something clicked into my mind the other day with the cold weather coming about those cold winter days February when the US male population could not wait for the Sports Illustrated Swim Suit issue to come on the newsstands... that was a media sensation then and it is hardly noteworthy today. Parents have a tough job to do with so many outside influences... good or bad. Why make it more complicated in their living spaces even if it is a common area. I am not a censorship person but sometimes a little more consideration for all the residents in the building goes a long way.

There are plenty of byob restaurants still in business after many years in JC and Hoboken... sad truth is they lost their heart and desire to keep the business going. Nothing wrong with that, but blaming customer tastes and the cost of labor when you have a culinary school in J Sq seem slightly self serving, if you excuse the pun.

So he "retires" in August and still is collecting his $111K city salary on top of the pension. Most of these people are unemployable in the private sector (real world) and there has to be some other reason why she has humbled herself at $15 per hour part time?

And cheaper still is the 62 bus. I'll be giving it a try next time I'm flying out of Newark.

PATH has some serious issues, but are you really advocating against investment in a service that provides public transportation for 266,000 riders a day?

The new PATH station at Newark Airport has yet to be designed. It's also been announced that design work to replace the shitty AirTrain, which had reached the end of its useful life, is currently underway. The vision for the area includes a new transit hub connecting NJ Transit, PATH, the new AirTrain, and a small bus terminal. It could also bring economic development to the air.[/quote]

$2.75 PATH train to Newark. Transfer at Newark Penn Station and pay $8.25 for a local NJ Transit train to go ONE STOP to the AirTrain station. Followed by a cumbersome transfer to the slow-moving AirTrain to the terminal buildings.

How could you say there is no problem with the above scenario? It's not a fun trip to make with luggage. My least favorite part of the transfer is waiting for a NJ Transit train that actually stops at the airport. A bus from Newark Penn could very well be cheaper and faster.

Extending PATH one more stop to the airport would be a major time saver and convenience to both airline employees and travelers, especially for anyone traveling from lower Manhattan or along the PATH lines.
